Why are organisms different from machines?

Ever wondered if we still have a relation with our natural background? The paper puts a link between the concept of ‘nature’ and the human made ‘system’ in which we live. Thereby using some philosophic thinking

the summary of the paper starts with

‘The question What is life? has been asked by many over the years. Robert Rosen realized that this was a poorly posed question and that when rephrased the question had an earthshaking answer. This is the subject of this review.‘

thanks Robert
